This was when former Kickhams and Dublin player Paddy Christie decided to take action, taking over the Under-10s in an effort to give local youngsters something to do.McMahon pays tribute to his efforts, noting that while Christie may never have won any All-Ireland medals himself he played a major role in the winning of the 20-plus medals claimed by players he brought through the ranks in Ballymun.

News Corp is a network of leading companies in the worlds of diversified media, news, education, and information services.DEAN ROCK has opened up a can of worms for the GAA, one which they may struggle to put a lid back on.But until now those payments were largely restricted to professionals like physios, fitness experts, dieticians and sports scientists.Nobody has a problem with full-time workers being paid to do their job.OK, we know some managers and coaches around the country are getting a few quid under the table as well.But strictly speaking, that’s against Croke Park rules and for good reason.What Dublin sharpshooter Rock has done is stepped into a murky new world of amateurs charging for their services.That’s a concerning development for the Association for a number of reasons.A disclaimer first of all — this isn’t a Rock-bashing exercise or another anti-Dubs rant.The Ballymun Kickhams ace has clearly poured his heart and soul into perfecting a skill that was passed down to him from his famous free-taking father Barney and earned him multiple Celtic Crosses.And he’s been a superb role model for kids, not just in the capital but across the country.Only a few weeks ago he talked to SunSport to highlight a charity run he was undertaking for Stewarts Care, his employers.In the end, they raised over €78,000 for the centre which is one of the largest disability service providers in the state.So the 30-year-old is clearly a stand-up guy, a great footballer and a hell of a free-taker.But the GAA should be concerned about any of its players advertising their services at premium rates to a fortunate few who possess the capacity to foot the bill.Rock’s clients will undoubtedly benefit from improved routine, posture, mindset and striking.He is hosting his first free-taking workshop late next week for teenagers between 15 and 17 and they will surely walk away satisfied.But any suggestion that amateur players need to pay premium rates to improve is wrong and a dangerous signal to send out — even if the Dubs forward didn’t mean to do so.Most clubs and certainly all counties are awash with quality free-takers who will be happy to lend their services for free.Whatever advice they can offer, coupled with sustained practice, will lead to serious improvements.What Rock is doing is capitalising on his fame and the hundreds of hours of punishing practice that he has put in himself.More power to him for his entrepreneurship but any parent who can’t afford to pay for private sessions with the Sky Blue superstar shouldn’t feel they’re letting their child down.The hope is that by highlighting the importance of free-taking, the penny may drop with clubs and county boards that this is an area worth focusing far more on.
